How We Handle E-Mail

For secure transmissions, your e-mails to us should be sent using WestStar Bank Contact Us at www.weststarbank.com. Inquiries sent through our Contact Us pages are secure and use Secure Socket Layer (SSL).

You may also contact us by phone, U.S. Mail or by visiting your nearest banking center. See our Contact Us link and our Banking Center Locator Web pages for additional information about contacting us.

What We Do With Online Surveys

The information you provide on surveys and promotions on our website will be used for internal marketing purposes, including developing website information and services that you may find helpful. In addition, we may inform you of new accounts and services from WestStar Bank based on the information you provide to us.

No Data "Capture" with Planning Tools

There are many planning tools throughout the site to help you make the financial decisions that are right for you in the privacy of your home. We encourage you to try all of our "what-if" scenarios as often as you like. When you use various planning tools on our website, the calculations run on your PC or our server. We do not capture the personal information you provide on these planning tools. Examples include the mortgage principal and interest calculator and the savings goal calculators.

Securing Your Information Online

Whenever we ask for personal information on our website, we use Secure Socket Layer (SSL technology) for transferring data. This technology encrypts or scrambles your account information so it’s virtually impossible for anyone other than WestStar Bank to read it.
